Peggy (dog)

Peggy (born c. early 2018) is a British dog notable for winning the title of Britain's ugliest dog. She gained popularity for her ugliness, and will make her acting debut as Dogpool in the 2024 film Deadpool & Wolverine.

Early life
Holly Middleton adopted Peggy online near the end of 2018. She was six months old at the time, and she was the runt of an accidental litter. Peggy was named after Middleton's great-grandmother. She is a crossbreed between a Pug and a Chinese Crested Dog, also known as a Pugese. In 2023, Peggy entered into an ugly dog competition held by a photography printing firm called ParrotPrint. She won, earning the title of "Britain's ugliest dog".

Film career
Due to her success in the ugly dog competition, she appeared on television and would eventually enter the film industry. She appeared on BBC Breakfast, and later actor Ryan Reynolds posted a picture of Peggy in a Deadpool costume on social media, revealing that she would appear as an animal actor in the 2024 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Deadpool & Wolverine. Reynolds stated that he was a proponent for Peggy's inclusion in the film because "she feels like the animal manifestation of Wade Wilson." Peggy walked the red carpet with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman at the film's premier in London. To celebrate, HMV temporarily replaced the image of Nipper on their logo with Peggy.
